Physics EXAM TERM 2 2024

QuestionAnswer
What 3 subatomic particles are atoms made of? protons (+1) electrons (-1) neutrons (0)
What are nucleons? The collective name for protons and neutrons found in the nucleus.
What is the nucleus? -central core of atom -positive -contains all protons and nuetrons
What is the formula for number of electrons in a shell? 2n²
What is an element? - composed of identical atoms - simplest form of matter (can't breakdown substance into simpler form)
True or False: The number of electrons determine elements False, number of protons
in 1869 the first periodic table was devised by a Russian scientist named.. Dmitri Mendeleev
What's a compound? A combination of two or more elements (chemically bonded)
What's a molecule? a tiny particle which is a combination of two or more ATOMS (chemically bonded)
How do you name a compound when a metal reacts with a non-metal? metal non-metalIDE
How do you name a compound when non metals react with oxygen atoms? non-metal MONOXIDE (1O) non-metal DIOXIDE (2O) non-metal TRIOXIDE (3O)
what do you say when there a specific set of atoms? OH - hydroxide SO₄ - sulfate SO₃ - sulfite NO₃ - nitrate CO₃ - carbonate NH₄ - ammonium
What are the chemical names for 1. water 2. table salt 3. methane 4. baking powder 5. stink bomb 6. laughing gas 7. plaster of Paris 8. petrol 1. hydrogen monoxide H20 2. sodium chloride NaCl 3. Methane CH4 4. sodium carbonate NaHCO3 5. Hydrogen sulfide H2S 6. Nitrous Oxide N20 7. Calcium Sulphate CaSO4 8. Octane C8H18
When do chemical reactions take place? When two or more elements/compounds react together to form a new substance
TRUE OR FALSE: In a chemical reaction energy is either released or absorbed TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE: When a new substance forms due to chemical reactions the new substance has different properties. TRUE
What is combustion? Burning
When metals react with oxygen during combustion what happens? -Energy is released -metal oxide is produced (in the presence of moisture) -solutions of those metal oxides are basic
magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide
Magnesium ribbon burns in a what colour? blinding white light
Magnesium turns to a what powder? white powder that can form an alkaline solution
Iron burns with oxygen with a what flame? Bright yellow flame and produces sparks
Give a description of iron oxide a black solid substance
What causes rust? When metals react with oxygen in the presence of moisture they corrode (rust)
What is rust the corrosion of steel and iron
How do you prevent rusting? -paint -thin layer of zinc or chromium done via electroplating (form of electrolysis) -water repellent oil or grease layer (for moving parts)
How are non-metal oxides (acidic) formed? when non metals burn in excess oxygen
when carbon burns in oxygen it burns with what flame? a bright luminous yellow flame
Burnt carbon is what colour? Black
when sulfer burns in oxygen it burns with what flame? blue flame
What are characteristics of sulpher dioxide -choking smell -colourless gas
What are 5 properties of acids? 1. sour taste 2. feels rough 3. turns blue litmus red 4. has a pH value of less than 7 5. has hydrogen in front of it's chemical formula
What are 5 examples of acids? 1. HCl - hydrochloric acid 2. H2SO4- sulphuric acid/battery acid 3. HNO3 - nitric acid 4. Acetic acid (vinegar) 4. Citric acid (in citrus fruits)
What are 5 properties of bases? 1. bitter taste 2. feels smooth/soapy 3. turns red litmus paper blue 4. has pH value of greater than 7 5. May have hydroxide OH @ end of chemical fomula
What are 4 examples of bases? 1. NaOH - caustic soda/drain cleaner 2. Ca(OH)2 - lime 3. NH4OH - kitchen cleaner 4. NaHCO3 - sodium bicarbonate
The pH scale ranges from 0-? 14
What are indicators? substances that is used to test whether a substance is acid, basic or neutral by changing colour
3 examples of indicators? red litmus and blue litmus paper, universal paper.
What colours do acids turn indicator paper? yellow, orange, red
What colours do bases turn indicator paper? blue, purple
What colours do neutrals turn indicator paper? green
When does a neutralization reaction occur? when acids react with bases to form a solution of a pH of 7. The hydrogen from acid combines with the hydroxide from the base to form water and salt
Acid + Base --> water+ salt
HCL (hydrochloric acid) + NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide) --> NaCl + H20
H2SO4(sulphuric acid)+Mg(OH)2 (magnesium hydroxide) --> MgSO4 (epsom salts) + 2(actual 2)H2O
What happens when an acid reacts with a base? Makes neutral or less basic
What happens when a base reacts with an acid? Makes neutral or less acidic
How is neutralization used in soil treatments? Lime or chalk is used to make soil less acidic.
Is neutralization used on insect stings? zinc carbonate/bicarb is used to neutralize the acid poison.
Why is lime (calcium hydroxide) added to rivers? Acid waste from industries is dumped into rivers, making the rivers acid. The acid kills aquatic animals so lime is added to neutralize the acid.
Reaction of an acid with a metal will form what? salt and a hydrogen gas.
